Oh yeah, and his …
Oh yeah, and his hands are way down. Easy to knock him out. Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect! Keep your hands up yellow belt.
I think his style …
I think his style is youtube troll!
Ummm, let me …
Ummm, let me practice those kick in your face!
my grandfather can …
my grandfather can kick harder then that PUSSY
Maybe people should …
Maybe people should post there own videos of how “awesome they are” and how their kicks are so much better, before talking shit.
it looks like a …
it looks like a solid kick to be only problem is it looks like hes way off balance when he does that kick and his arms arent up to protect his face.
I took Muay Thai …
I took Muay Thai from my friend, I say that technique is good so STFU. He looks off balance, but if he needed to, his foot is not planted so he could make a speedy exit if he needed it. You cant plant the foot completley or else you dont get good rotation. He drops his hand for momentum, its Muay Thai technique. So, since youre the fucking expert, correct me.
I just saw this guy …
I just saw this guy fight at the Queen’s Birthday World Superfights in Thailand earlier this month. He obliterated his Thai opponent’s legs with leg kicks just like this in the first round and knocked him out with one punch in the second round. All you posers who think this sh*t doesn’t work, have some balls and step in the ring - in Thailand!
Im not a muay thai …
Im not a muay thai expert nor am i claiming to be im just a humble karateka.
lol learn muay thai …
lol learn muay thai b4 u try to correct it.he goes at a 45 degree angle 2 the oponent when he kick because it generates more power.the left arm protects th left side incase th opponent is riught kicking.the right arm swings for momentum as there is no need to protect the right side as the opponent can not reach with anythng because of the 45 degree step.
kyoukan, you might …
kyoukan, you might not have been watching the video closely enough. He is guarding his face, a combination of his left hand and right shoulder work to cover up the majority of his face, specifically the chin. It’s just like if he threw a punch and guarded with his chin down and his shoulder and opposite hand blocking. The only difference is this in the form of a kick…
By no means is that kick perfect, but no attack is perfect in every aspect.
i got into a fight …
i got into a fight at school and i tried this kick on the guy… lets just say it didnt turn out good for him
With regards to …
With regards to blocking: If you eat this kick, whatever you are throwing isn’t going to matter. It is VERY difficult to make full and proper contact with a countering punch in this situation. If you do eat the kick (and it is performed properly) you will either hit the ground, or drop your guard trying to regain balance. Watch a little K1. This kick ends fights.
^^This is true, …
^^This is true, these kicks usually drop a person, even if you manage to take it, you wont be able to fight for long.
Is this really muay …
Is this really muay thai? He was not squared. And he took too big a step. An easy counter would be a swift left kick to his left hamstring or even lower.
there’s more than …
there’s more than one style of Muay Thai and I agree with you… the low kick was rather weird to me
The asian guy is …
There’s a lot of styles of Muay Thai, esp. back in the States. But I’d rather learn from guys like him who actually put it to use in the ring.
The asian guy is one of the fighters from Kaewsamrit Gym in Thailand. He won the Queen’s Cup a couple months ago in Bangkok. I’m sure he’s the real thing.
That’s very …
That’s very interesting. Is there anywhere i can find videos of his fights?
yeah there is more …
yeah there is more than one style for example theres a style called muay boran which is alot more brutal and other styles that have no name in thailand.
Lol, don’t think so …
Lol, don’t think so mate.
You’ve clearly never done any MT training, with unconditioned shins your gonna end up on the floor like him
isn’t it better if …
isn’t it better if u keep ur hands up when u r kicking??
muay boran is the …
muay boran is the ancient style that monks train, its the one you see in OngBak and warrior king/the protector..
and i think using “style” is kinda wrong.. remember that Muay thai is not like Tae kwon do, karate and kung fu and the other asian arts, its more of a guide lines and teachings that people put to use in slightly diffrent way.. for exemple this kick is alot more jump in and more intenesity for higher power and less defense.
People complaining …
People complaining about the “power” of the kick, nah the power is fine.
IMO, if i’m throwing a leg kick, i’m actually going to try for LESS power than he is using. I would have my supporting leg bent a little more, and it would be under my torso instead of in front of it. The way he has his foot positioned in front of his torso adds power, but takes away recovery time and range.
wow this forum …
wow this forum seems to be full of muay thai and queens cup champions… oh ya, theres no sarcastic emote here
The guys name is …
The guys name is Vince Soberano. He’s based in Thailand and currently trains fighters from China. He’s the best in his division. He is from the Philippines, by the way.
